I can see good and bad in the legacy of most, including LBJ. But IMO what is seen as Hefner’s good work was actually what he did to promote his brand as a sophisticated/cool/intelligent alternative to the raunchier brands of the time. Did anything he do with regards to Black people put him or his business at risk?…

This would be the other side of Intent Doesn’t Matter. I can appreciate where his actions had a positive impact without thinking this makes him an overall good person.

I was thinking about his civil rights activism. To me, it seems that it all worked to serve men. He fought for sexual freedom (for men to freely enjoy women), he fought for women to get the pill (so that pregnancies wouldn’t hinder men’s sexual activities with women and men wouldn’t have to worry about being…

I’m totally shocked that a man who made his career objectifying women would abuse them and treat them as disposable. Shocked.

They need to do visual protests throughout the game. It would be unavoidable to see fists in the air after jumpers, before or after timeouts or inbounds plays or people taking knees at the free throw line.

agree. i think the smartest plan is for them to get as MANY players as possible to kneel. if everyone kneels, then theyll be safer from punishment. if they suspend damn near everyone, the nba will lose even more money than if it’s only a few.

I totally agree. And also seems like a genuinely nice person, and, hey, if the kindness is a façade, I will take it over cattiness, any day. #TeamKim.

You know you’ve fucked up big time when the happiest man on earth is pissed off with you and your shit-talking.

Boom. Yes. Every POC professional athlete needs to strike for a few games and shut that shit down completely.

Gotta post what Lin-Manuel tweeted after Trump shifted blame onto Cruz for “poor leadership”:

’m sorry I wasn’t aware we always had to agree with our husbands.

Honestly this is why I’ve never hated her that much. She said countless times her dad taught her to give. That’s why she gives a lot of her income to charity. She’s not evil just vapid.

A Kardashian has more political engagement, empathy and logical thinking skills than our current president. That’s where we are at right now.

I sincerely hope and pray that every team takes a knee the first game and every game this season. We’re done having conversations.

If the starting 5 of any team not actively tanking took a knee there is nothing the owners can do without destroying their team’s season. Kaepernick knelt and others followed him knowing that they could be replaced. The same can’t be said of the men of the NBA.

“They think they’re gonna fine or fire Curry? LEBRON?

Good luck Mr. Silver. You’re gonna need it if you fall on the wrong side of the players. Christ your two biggest stars just mouthed off to the President. NBA contracts are guaranteed, they’ve got a strong players union, and these young men don’t seem interested in backing down from anyone. This isn’t going to be a…

How about no more police brutality?

“No word on what the penalty is if the rule is broken.”

This is unenforceable in the NBA. NBA players make on average make far more than their NFL counterparts and there are far fewer of them. If Lebron, Curry, Harden, et all take a knee what are they going to do? Suspend them? They’re the faces of the league who can all afford to sit out if necessary.
